Google updates the Android brand with new logo and 3D robot

Following our previous report, Google is officially unveiling a new 3D logo for Android. The broad goal of this updated branding is to “help connect Android to Google,” and it follows the previous modernization in 2019.

Hey finally a change to the boring minimalist 1 colour 2d logos every company has these days! Back to the good old days!

Logos are supposed to be easily reproducible at any size. This is a terrible idea.

Other key thing about logos is that they are suppose to look clear in black and white. Which this isn't.

Like the small logo and the black and white logos seen above?

Good point, but that wasn't changed from before, right?

That one is the one they'll use when you need a B&W logo

Don't really care how the Android logo looks, I just wish Google would fix the ridiculously oversized quick toggles and unnecessary whitespace they added in Android 12.

Oh, and the nesting of mobile data/WiFi toggles under another layer.

I like the old design more because it felt a bit more playful, with the lowercase a and simple droid being welcoming and not way too professional. This makes it really generic and brand-y.

Am I the only one who actually likes the new logo?

I still prefer how it was back in 2014.

This looks like one of those random off topic images you find when searching for something.
